Chapter 426 - 426 427 Fell Down_1

Chapter 426: Chapter 427: Fell Down_1 Chapter 426: Chapter 427: Fell Down_1 Xiangcao carried the hawthorn soup to the backstage. Whether it was the actors waiting for their turn to perform or the stagehands, the sight of the hawthorn soup had them swarming over, “Aiyo, finally, I don’t feel right all day without a bit of this. Working so hard, only this bowl of hawthorn soup can provide some comfort.”

Xiangcao hastily distributed the soup to everyone. One person with sharp eyes spotted the larger bowl and greedily reached for it, but was slapped away by a big, rough hand.

Looking up, it was the burliest of them all, Dahu, with an imposing air, “This bowl is mine.”

The other person was displeased, “Is your name written on it? What’s stopping me from drinking it?”

Xiangcao hurriedly intervened, “Let’s not argue, there’s more in the back. If you still want more, I can bring it to you later. Dahu is big, this small bowl isn’t even enough to fill the gaps in his teeth, so stop fighting over it.”

With that, the person backed down, took the smaller bowl to drink, but still did not forget to remind Xiangcao, “Don’t forget I want more.”

Xiangcao glared at him, “I know!”

Dahu indeed had a huge appetite, mainly because he was so large. Naturally, he needed to eat and drink more than others. Even with a larger bowl, he gulped down the hawthorn soup in one go, “Delicious, Xiangcao, bring me another bowl later!”

Xiangcao agreed to each request.

It wasn’t long before a young servant came calling, “Dahu, it’s almost time for Miss Chen’s fight scene, hurry over to get ready!”

As soon as Dahu heard this, he immediately went over. Because he was the biggest and strongest, Muniang entrusted him with the task of managing the wirework for Chen Yuhua. Despite his temper, he was very reliable at work. He wrapped the white silk around his arm several times before gripping it tightly, always ready to lift or pull according to the situation on stage.

He could easily lift Chen Yuhua’s slight figure with one hand; all these precautions were just to be extra safe.

The scene onstage was Little Dragon Girl battling King Jinlun. The audience below was totally captivated, not even daring to blink, fixated on the action on stage.

When the fight finally commenced, Chen Yuhua subtly signaled to Dahu, who caught on and pulled the silk taut. Chen Yuhua’s toes lightly touched the ground, and she “flew” up into the air.

With Little Dragon Girl in the air and King Jinlun fighting on stage, the sight was exceptionally visually striking, and the audience marveled in amazement.

But suddenly Dahu felt his stomach churn like turbulent waves, and the white silk slipped in his grip momentarily. Although he recovered quickly, Chen Yuhua only felt a slight jolt, mistaking it for a minor hiccup on Dahu’s part and paid it no mind.

Dahu had thought he could control it, but the turmoil in his stomach became even more intense, simply unbearable, and he felt a total loss of strength. Unable to find someone to help in time, the white silk began to slip from his grip due to Chen Yuhua’s big movements in the air above.

Dahu broke out in a cold sweat, clutching his stomach as he knelt on the ground, watching helplessly as the white silk gradually slipped from his palms.

Chen Yuhua felt her body lighten, the tension gone, and she plummeted straight down, letting out a piercing scream. The actor playing King Jinlun obviously hadn’t anticipated this development and was suddenly immobilized, stunned in place.

The audience below was completely taken aback. Was this part of the show, or was it real?

With her eyes tightly shut, Chen Yuhua braced for the worst, but then, Zhong Yulang dashed forward in a rush, catching her. However, Zhong Yulang wasn’t truly skilled in martial arts; rushing over now served only to cushion and break her fall.

Chen Yuhua slammed right onto Zhong Yulang, who caught her with his arms, but naturally could not manage to catch a fully-grown person falling from such a height; both of them crashed onto the stage, with Chen Yuhua’s head knocking against it, causing blood to instantly spread out.

The entire audience was in an uproar—she really had fallen!

Zhong Yulang roared, “What are you standing there for? Get a doctor, quick! And bring a clean cloth to stop her bleeding!”

Only then did the actors on stage snap to their senses and quickly started bustling about to follow the orders.

Zhong Yulang tried to lift Chen Yuhua off the ground, but his arm was in sharp pain, most likely dislocated. Her fall from such a height was with too much force; it was a wonder his arm wasn’t completely wasted.

Since this scene featured Little Dragon Girl and King Jinlun predominantly, he wasn’t standing in the center of the stage but at the edge. However, when he saw Chen Yuhua plummeting down, while everyone else was dumbstruck, he was the only one who reacted swiftly, rushing to catch her without considering the consequences.

Regrettably, an accident still occurred.

The actors scrambled to press a clean cloth against Chen Yuhua’s wound to stop the bleeding before carrying her up to a private room on the second floor.

The spectators in the hall were in a commotion, clearly shocked. Of course, the majority were concerned for Chen Yuhua’s safety.

An attendant quickly went on stage and apologetically said, “Ladies and gentlemen, today’s performance will end here. Our Miss Chen has sustained serious injuries and is currently unconscious. Please make your way out; there will be more splendid performances in the future.”

After speaking, he hurriedly had the curtain drawn.

The patch of blood on the stage looked disturbingly alarming. All the actors were internally questioning, with such a high fall, could it really be without serious consequences?

The doctor arrived swiftly, treating Chen Yuhua’s wound in time and administering an injection, then prescribed medication to be fetched.

“Doctor, how is she?”

“Not too bad, not too bad. It’s just a head injury and excessive blood loss that made her faint. However, to only have such minor injuries after falling from such a height, she’s fortunate. I’ll prescribe medicine so Miss Chen can rest and recover for a while.”

Zhong Yulang also breathed a sigh of relief, for if Mei Garden had witnessed a fatality, it would be the end.

Muniang happened not to be there that day. Now that the play was on the right track, she naturally wouldn’t monitor it daily anymore, and all matters were naturally handled by Zhong Yulang.

“Then please, doctor, could you set my bone as well? I fell just now and seem to have dislocated it,” Zhong Yulang said.

The doctor looked at Zhong Yulang in stunned surprise. He really could endure pain—to have stayed silent through half a day’s time!

With such a big incident, naturally someone would inform Muniang. Anxious, she had Yu Ze ride her over on horseback. On arriving at Mei Garden, she quickly dismounted and rushed inside, where an attendant was already waiting and led Muniang in immediately upon her arrival.

“How is Chen Yuhua?” Muniang asked anxiously as she hurried along.
